The 2025-26 Verenican hurricane season is the ongoing Verenican hurricane season. The season officially began on November 15, 2025 and will end on May 15, 2026. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when the most subtropical or tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the Verenican Ocean. Off of the west coast of the Veriman continent, subtropical or tropical cyclogenesis usually starts in the middle of December. Tropical storm Aradi formed on November 21, marking the earliest start to a season since 2022-23. On November 23, tropical storm Baravadi formed. The next day, it underwent explosive intensification. Baravadi would produce extensive damage in Kolvia. On November 23, Camy formed and became a hurricane later that day. Vanessa also entered the basin the same day. The next day, Camy made landfall in Ruzar. Hurricane Vanessa underwent the fastest explosive intensification in the basin's history the same day and became the second most intense tropical cyclone globally. Vanessa would continue to ravage the south coast of the Gulf of Caremia, the Lavian Archipelago, and Marioni. Tropical storms Dawson and Eshin followed each other out to sea. After a brief 3-day lull in activity, hurricane Flad would form on December 8, and would astonishingly cause severe damage in concentrated areas due to picking up fish from the ocean. Gamid made landfall in Mozaque, and Herik would strike a day in succession. On December 14, tropical storm Iveme formed. Two days later, it would attain category 5 status, thus making it the second storm of such strength this season. Iveme caused catastrophic and widespread damage along the Veriman East Coast. On December 19, tropical storm Jorren formed before being completely torn apart by wind shear. After a 5 day lull in activity, tropical storm Kamma formed. Kanra rapidly intensified into a category 5 strength storm, becoming the third of this status this season and making the season have the most category 5 strength storms to form before February 1 on record. A subtropical storm formed in the extreme north of the open Verenican Ocean. As the storm strengthened, it was designated Lodis. However, cold waters ultimately led to the dissipation of the system.

The 2025-26 Veredican hurricane season officially began on November 15 and will end on May 15. So far, 15 tropical cyclones have formed, all of which intensified into named storms. 9 have intensified into hurricanes and 6 intensified further into major hurricanes.
Early activity[]
Tropical cyclogenesis bagan on November 21 with the formation of tropical storm Aradi. No significant impacts had been caused. A tropical disturbance developed on November 22, and intensified into Baravadi, which went on to become the worst natural disaster in Kolvia history. The next day, tropical storm Camy formed in the Amanian Sea, the first to do so in over 20 years. It further intensified into a hurricane the same day. On November 24, hurricane Vanessa entered the basin. Vanessa would become the second strongest tropical cyclone globally and wreak havoc in the southern portion of the Celamic peninsula. Vanessa would dissipate late on December 2.
Tropical storms Dawson and Eshin in a Fujiwhara interaction at their respective peak intensities on December 4.
On December 2 as Vanessa dissipated, tropical storm Dawson formed. On December 3, tropical storm Eshin formed in the central Verenican Ocean and Dawson executed a loop. Eshin and Dawson would begin to slightly orbit each other on December 4 due to a Fujiwhara interaction. At 11:30 UTC, the centers of Dawson and Eshin were just 203 kilometers (126 miles) apart, the closest in the satellite era. After a brief lull in activity, tropical storm Flad formed in the Gulf of Caremia. Flad reached it's peak intensity before devastating the Celamic Shortly afterward, tropical storm Gamid would form and impact Mozique and northern Hopsol. Herik would strike the same areas in succession less than 24 hours later. On December 14, tropical storm Iveme formed, and ultimately became the second category 5 storm of the season. On December 19, tropical storm Jorren formed off of the coast of Ruda. Record high wind shear for the region of up to 56 knots completely tore the system apart on December 21. After a 5 day lull in activity, tropical storm Kanra formed. Kanra rapidly intensified into the third category 5 strength storm of the season, thus making this season have the most storms of such strength before February 1.
System[]
Tropical Storm Aradi[]
| Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | November 21 – November 23 |
| Peak intensity | 50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 998 mbar (hPa; 29.47 inHg) |
On November 20, a disturbance was noted south of Sladerian island. Early the next day, the storm began to consolidate and received the name Aradi (pronounced uh-rahd-ee). On November 22, the system slightly intensified despite high vertical wind shear and slightly dry conditions. Soon thereafter, Aradi reached its peak intensity of 85 km/h (50 mph) and 998 mbar (hPa; 29.47 inHg). A building high pressure system to the east caused Aradi to move northwest for the remainder of its life. Cooling sea surface temperatures, high vertical wind shear, and dry entrainment weakened the system as the shear chipped away at the center and the dry air intruded its core. Later on November 22, Aradi made landfall in Sladerian island as a minimal tropical depression. Continuing its northwestward track, Aradi made landfall in the Celamic peninsula as a weak tropical depression. Terrain interaction quickly degraded the system, and early on November 23, Aradi dissipated over land.
Overall, Aradi caused minimal impacts in Sladerian island and the Celamic peninsula. Rip currents caused by the storm left person missing after they were dragged out to sea. On Sladerian island, 30,000 customers lost power, while in the Calemic peninsula, 50,000 customers lost power. Current estimated in losses are placed at $90,000 (2025 USD).
Hurricane Baravadi[]
| Category 4 major hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | November 23 – November 27 |
| Peak intensity | 150 mph (240 km/h) (1-min) 936 mbar (hPa; 27.64 inHg) |
At 18:00 UTC on November 22, a tropical disturbance was noted around 150 miles north of Palidine island. Early on November 23, the disturbance was upgraded to a tropical storm and received the name Baravadi (pronounced Bar-uh-vah-dee). A building high pressure over the Gulf of Caremia allowed Baravadi to move northwestward. Low vertical wind shear, extremely high sea surface temperatures of 37.6°C (99.6°F ) near global records, improved equatorial outflow, and a very moist envoirnment allowed it to intensify. Shortly after designation, Baravadi explosively intensified from a tropical storm with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) to 150 mph (240 km/h), or an increase of 110 mph (175 km/h), within 24 hours. This rate of intensification is one of the fastest in the Verenican basin, the second fastest before February 1, surpassed by Vanessa a day later, as well as one of the fastest globally. It's central pressure dropped from 1001 mbar (hPa; 29.56 inHg) to 936 mbar (hPa; 27.64 inHg), or 65 millibars (hPa; 1.92 inHg) within 24 hours. The VHSC quoted, "... we haven't seen intensification like this in over a decade." Increasing vertical wind shear began to degrade the eyewall, decreasing sea surface temperatures stopped any further intensification, and increasingly dry air intruded Baravadi's warm core. Late on November 26, Baravadi further weakened to a category 2 hurricane, and early on November 27, hurricane Baravadi restrengthened to a category 3 hurricane before landfalling in Kolvia. Baravadi would become extratropical at noon that day and fully dissipated by the evening.
Heavy rainfall from Baravadi in Palidine and Kimbous island caused numerous landslides. The country of Ustopo felt relatively minor affects. Baravadi was the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in the country of Kolvia, and caused catastrophic damage in the country. In total, 312 people had died and $18 billion (2025 USD) was left in damages. Multiple neighborhoods were almost completely submerged from Baravadi’s storm surge. Flooded streets severely hampered recovery efforts. Baravadi was described as “… the worst natural disaster in Kolvia history” and a survivor said that it “… was the face of global warming.”
Hurricane Camy[]
| Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | November 24 – November 26 |
| Peak intensity | 75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min) 982 mbar (hPa; 29 inHg) |
At 9:00 UTC on November 24, a broad area of convection was noted in the Amanian Channel. The storm quickly consolidated and was assigned the name Camy (pronounced Ca-mee). At 11:35 UTC, Hurricane Hunters found hurricane-force sustained winds, prompting the VHSC to upgrade Camy to a hurricane. At 14:00 UTC, conditions slightly deteriorated, causing Camy to weaken down to a tropical storm. At 19:00 UTC, Camy began to approach the Gulf of Lambora. At 20:50 UTC, Camy weakened further while accelerating northward. The next day at 8:30 UTC, Camy entered the Gulf of Lambora. The same day at 13:15 UTC, Camy made landfall in Ruzar as a tropical storm. Severe damage was reported in the country due to their lack of preparedness for tropical cyclones. Camy quickly weakened and degenerated to a low the next day.
Total damages from the storm are estimated to be at $3.7 billion (2025 USD) along with 18 people confirmed dead. Camy was the costliest and one of the deadliest tropical cyclone to ever hit the country of Ruzor. A hurricane warning was issued in advance of Camy's arrival. Climate change scientists attributed global warming to the cause of Camy's unusual area of formation and landfall.
Hurricane Vanessa[]
| Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | November 24 (entered basin) – December 2 |
| Peak intensity | 215 mph (345 km/h) (1-min) 871 mbar (hPa; 25.72 inHg) |
On November 24, Hurricane Vanessa entered the basin, which was the first to do so in over 50 years in the month of November. Early the next day, favourable conditions continued, allowing Vanessa to intensify. At 3:00 UTC the same day, enabled by very favourable enviornmental conditions consisting of extremely warm sea surface temperatures of 35-37°C (95-99°F), very high ocean heat content, low wind shear of 5 knots (9.26 km/h; 5.75 mph), and very high levels of mid-level relative humidity, hurricane Vanessa began to explosively intensify. Vanessa's central pressure dropped from 953 mbar (hPa; 28.15 inHg) to 883 mbar (hPa; 26.08 inHg), or 70 mbar (hPa; 2.07 inHg), in only 24 hours. In the same timeframe, Vanessa's winds increased from 185 km/h (115 mph) to 315 km/h (195 mph), or a 130 km/h (80 mph) increase in winds. This was the second fastest intensification before February 1, and the second in the basin overall. Vanessa began to approach Sladerian island while producing torrential rain and wind. Vanessa would continue intensifying for the next few hours. Increasing wind shear caused Vanessa to weaken during its passing near Sladerian island. Hurricane Vanessa peaked with winds of 345 km/h (215 mph) and a minimum central pressure of 871 mbar (hPa; 25.72 inHg), making it the second most intense tropical cyclone globally, only surpassed by Mydom later. On November 26, Vanessa continued past Sladerian island and began to heavily affect the Celamic peninsula, bringing heavy rain and 1-minute sustained winds on land recorded up to 290 km/h (180 mph) despite remaining over 90 miles offshore to the south. Millions of trees were uprooted and numerous tornadoes were reported. Damage assessed from the Kravin-Delary tornado was placed as high as a mid-level EF4, making it one of the strongest tornado produced by a tropical cyclone. Numerous rivers overflowed their banks, wiping out entire neighborhoods. Around 73% of houses in the southern side of the Celamic peninsula were severely damaged with their roofs being violently ripped off by the winds. 35% of the houses on the southern side of the Celamic peninsula were completely destroyed or flattened. The scope of the catastrophe in the peninsula remains unknown due to the lack of communication. At 17:00 UTC the same day, an eyewall replacement cycle commenced, weakening Vanessa in the process as it approached Denguar island. Vanessa’s gale-force diameter grew to a staggering 795 miles after it’s secondary eyewall finished choking out the original eyewall. In addition, Vanessa’s cloud top temperature dropped to an impressive -84°C (-120°F), some of the coldest cloud top temperatures ever measured on record. Early on November 27, Vanessa's colossal eyewall reached the coast of Denguar, dispite the system's eye still being over 240 kilometers (150 miles) offshore. Vanessa began battering the island with extremely high winds. A hurricane warning was issued for the entire island of Denguar. Vanessa proceeded to undergo a merged eyewall replacement cycle, which is a stronger version of an eyewall replacement cycle. Wind shear slightly subsided, allowing Vanessa to intensify in small amounts. At 10:00 UTC the same day, Vanessa made landfall in Denguar with winds of 290 km/h (180 mph), causing catastrophic damage. A storm surge of 7.9 meters (25.9 feet) was recorded. The government described Vanessa as, "...a calamitious natural disaster". Vanessa reemerged into the Verenican ocean on the south coast of Denguar at 14:45 UTC the same day. A building ridge over the Gulf of Caremia began pushing Vanessa southward toward the Lavian Archipelago. Later the next day, Vanessa’s winds began affecting Paladine and Kimbous island. Gusts of over 335 km/h (210 mph) caused catastrophic failures of hundreds of houses, while tens of thousands of homes had their roof completely torn off. At 7:00 UTC on November 29, Vanessa made its closest in Paladine as a powerful category 5 hurricane, causing extreme devastation. Vanessa would move northward as a category 4 hurricane at 11:00 UTC the next day. The previously building ridge began to weaken as the 500 millibar jet moved extremely far south, pushing Vanessa northwestward. At 13:15 UTC the same day, Vanessa made a brief landfall in northeastern Kimbous island. Vanessa emerged in the western Verenican Ocean as a low-end category 4 storm. On December 1, favorable conditions persisted, allowing a window for intensification. Vanessa reintensified into a category 5 storm before landfalling in the Marionian peninsula at 11:30 UTC the same day. As a ridge previously above the Gulf of Caremia began to build even further along with the 500 millibar jet stream moving northward, Vanessa began accelerating inland. At around 1:00 UTC, Vanessa weakened to a tropical storm. At 8:00 UTC the same day, Vanessa degenerated into a remnant low. The mountainous terrain from the Bronka Mountains quickly degraded the storm. The systems circulation dissipated over south Deroan later that day.
Vanessa had wreaked havoc across a significant portion of the basin. The current scale of the disaster currently remains unclear, however over 360 people have been found deceased and more than $55 billion (2025 USD) in damages have been reported in the aftermath of the storm.
Tropical Storm Dawson[]
| Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 2 – December 5 |
| Peak intensity | 60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) 996 mbar (hPa; 29.42 inHg) |
At 10:00 UTC, a tropical disturbance was noted in the central Verenican Ocean. A cold wake left by hurricane Vanessa initially inhibited development. As the depression deviated from hurricane Vanessa's previous path, warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear allowed the system to intensify. The system was designated as a tropical depression at 12:30 UTC the same day. At approximately 9:30 UTC on December 3, the storm received the name Dawson (pronounced Dah-suhn). Shortly after designation, Dawson executed a loop in the central Verenican Ocean. Dawson slightly strengthened at 7:30 UTC the next day as wind shear subsided. Due to its close proximity to Eshin, Dawson began to slightly orbit Eshin. By 8:45 UTC the next day, wind shear and cool sea surface temperatures began to take its toll on Dawson, which initiated weakening. At 10:15 UTC, the VHSC located Dawson's circulation being displaced due to wind shear, prompting the VHSC to cease advisories on the system. It lost tropical characteristics by 12:30 UTC before its convection fizzled out.
Tropical Storm Eshin[]
| Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 3 – December 5 |
| Peak intensity | 85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min) 998 mbar (hPa; 29.47 inHg) |
On December 3 at 11:45 UTC, tropical storm Eshin (pronounced Ee-shihn) formed in the central Verenican Ocean extremely swiftly from the same precursor as tropical storm Dawson. Wind shear subsided at 8:30 UTC the next day, allowing Eshin to slightly strengthen. Due to its close proximity to Dawson, Eshin started to slightly orbit Dawson. By 9:00 UTC on December 5, wind shear and cool sea surface temperatures began to take its toll on Eshin, causing weakening. At 10:30 UTC the same day, the storm began to lose convection before being pulled northeast by a frontal low. Eshin lost convection at 12:45 UTC the same day.
Hurricane Flad[]
| Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 8 – December 10 |
| Peak intensity | 100 mph (160 km/h) (1-min) 974 mbar (hPa; 28.77 inHg) |
On December 8, tropical storm Flad (pronounced Flahd) rapidly formed in the Gulf of Caremia. At 8:00 UTC the same day, amid favourable conditions, Flad began to slowly intensify. At 9:00 UTC, Flad gained hurricane force winds. Shortly after, Flad intensified further into a category 2 hurricane. A building ridge in the western area of the Gulf began to steer Flad in a northeasterly direction. At around 11:00 UTC, Flad would make landfall in the Celamic peninsula, which further exacerbated previous damage caused by hurricane Vanessa only a week prior. Flad produced astonishing damage due to fish falling from the clouds and damaging roofs due to being picked up by the storm. Debris began pelting the Nevedian dam, causing it to collapse ten miles of the Nevad city. Rivers overflowed, causing damage to surrounding areas. As the press described it as "adding insult to injury", fish from the river above and the dam's filter caused the city to flood with fish. At 13:00 UTC, Flad had weakened to category 1 strength, but nonetheless continued producing extreme precipitation. A tornado outbreak accompanied Flad's arrival. 72 tornadoes were reported in total in one day, making it the biggest one-day outbreak in the Celamic peninsula. Flad reemerged over the Verenican Ocean later that day. Early on December 9, Flad began moving further out to sea. At approximately 6:00 UTC, Flad's eye passed over the Allores Islands, causing widespread wind damage across the island. As the Tromanin high began pushing Flad further northeast, Flad began to undergo extratropical transition. Flad completed the transition later that day, and was absorbed by a bigger system two days later.
Flad caused widespread destruction across the Celamic peninsula. At least 32 people have been reported to have perished and over $8.3 billion (2025 USD) in damages were reported.
Tropical Storm Gamid[]
| Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 9 – December 12 |
| Peak intensity | 65 mph (105 km/h) (1-min) 992 mbar (hPa; 29.3 inHg) |
On December 9, tropical depression 07 developed around 480 kilometers (300 miles) off of the coast of Hopsol. Convection gradually strengthened before the storm was given Acthe name Gamid (pronounced Gah-mihd). Weak steering currents left Gamid meandering as a large and disorganized system. The next day, trade winds began to pull Gamid towards land. At 10:30 UTC, Gamid began to produce heavy rain and moderate wind gusts on the island of Mozaque and the country of Hopsol. Heavy rain began to overflow the Pandolia river, causing moderate flooding in the area. Later the same day, Gamid made landfall over Mozaque. Only a few hours later, Gamid made landfall in southern Hopsol before degenerating into a remnent low quickly over land. The next day, Gamid emerged into the Arcipitan Ocean. Shortly after, Gamid reorganized itself into a subtropical depression while in the center of an extratropical cyclone, which protected it from the high wind shear. Gamid would produce heavy snowfall above the Ivernon Peninsula and Lados island, which disrupted power grids. As the extratropical cyclone moved eastward, Gamid made its final landfall in the Trilia Peninsula before finally dissipating.
Overall, Gamid produced extensive damage totalling up to $23.4 million (2025 USD).
Hurricane Herik[]
| Category 3 major hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 10 – December 13 |
| Peak intensity | 115 mph (185 km/h) (1-min) 953 mbar (hPa; 28.15 inHg) |
On December 10, tropical storm Herik (pronounced Heh-rihk) swiftly developed off of the coast of Ruda. On December 11, Henrik gained hurricane strength while following Gamid. Herik began affecting the Zenirith peninsula with heavy rain. A building ridge in the Gulf of Lambora steered Henrik towards Mozaque, which was already moderately flooded in areas due to tropical storm Gamid. The Ruda High began pushing Henrik against the ridge, causing Henrik to essentially stall in the area. As the Ruda High moved westward, Herik rapidly intensified while it accelerated towards Mozaque. At 10:00 UTC, Herik made landfall in Mozaque. Flooding from Gamid allowed Herik to flood the island further, which crippled the country. At 12:00 UTC, Herik made landfall over southern Hopsol before dissipating the next day.
Herik produced extensive damage in Mozaque, with damages totalling up to $850 million (2025 USD) in the area. 9 fatalities were reported.
Hurricane Iveme[]
| Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 14 – December 26 |
| Peak intensity | 165 mph (265 km/h) (1-min) 919 mbar (hPa; 27.14 inHg) |
On December 14, a tropical depression was noted east the island of Dalpio while being situated unusually close to the equator. It eventually received the name Iveme (pronounced Ih-veem) The conditions surrounding the storm allowed for rapid intensification. On December 15, the storm reached category 4 strength while producing heavy rain over surrounding islands. Due to Iveme's large size, it affected both the Lavian Archipelagio and Sladerian island simultaniously. A ridge above the Gulf of Caremia began pushing Iveme southeast, but as the ridge above the Gulf of Caremia began to break, Iveme trudged northwest. On December 16, Iveme intensified further into a category 5 hurricane. Around noon the next day, Iveme weakened below category 5 strength due to a slight increase in wind shear, but nonetheless remained a powerful storm. Iveme continued to produce severe damage in the Lavian Archipelagio and Sladerian island. Several landslides were reported in Sladerian island, leaving at least twenty people missing. On early December 18, Iveme entered the Gulf of Caremia. A few hours later, Iveme dropped to category 3 strength due to increasing wind shear and dry air entrainment. Due to the extremely slow movement of the storm, extreme flooding and unseasonal rainfall occured. The capital of Tolkan, the city of Regime, recorded its highest rainfall in over a century, with rainfall in areas exceeding 50.6 inches (1285 millimeters). Flooding in the area contributed to at least 43 deaths. The next day, Iveme reached it's secondary peak intensity as a category 4 in the Gulf of Caremia before weakening back to category 3 status early the next day. At around 13:00 UTC on December 20, Iveme made landfall over Whetal, Tolkan, as a category 3 major hurricane with winds of 190 km/h (120 mph) with a central pressure of 946 mbar (hPa; 27.94 inHg). A storm surge of 4.6 meters (15.2 feet) was recorded along Duestal bay near the same area. Iveme moved extremely slow over land, and weakened into a tropical storm over the northern territory of the Celamic peninsula at around 18:00 on December 21. Due to areas affected by Flad slightly over two weeks ago still being flooded, the brown ocean effect allowed Iveme to retain its status as a tropical storm, and even slightly strengthened. At 12:30 UTC on December 22, Iveme weakened below tropical storm status. It would meander towards the Verenican Ocean while inland for two days straight, causing torrential rainfall. On December 24 at around 17:45 UTC, Iveme reemerged in the Verenican Ocean before restrengthening. On Christmas day, Iveme made its final landfall in Polakka as a tropical storm. Terrain interaction quickly degraded the system. Dry air and cooler sea surface temperatures prevented Iveme from strengthening when it reemerged again in the Verenican Ocean. Iveme dissipated near noon on December 26.
Widespread damage along the Veriman East Coast totaled up to $20.4 billion (2025 USD) and left 102 deceased.
Tropical Storm Jorren[]
| Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 19 – December 21 |
| Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1006 mbar (hPa; 29.71 inHg) |
On December 19, a disturbance was noted near the coast of Ruda. The disturbance quickly developed into a tropical storm, being assigned the name Jorren (pronounced Jor-rehn) the same day by the VHSC. Despite moderate to high wind shear and dry air tourmenting the storm, Jorren managed to sustain its status as a tropical storm. As conditions deteriorated even further, including record high wind shear for the region, reaching 52 knots and dry air continuing to intrude the core of the storm. Jorren weakened into a tropical depression, extremely sheared and disorganized. As its motion moved northward, higher values of shear up to 56 knots completely tore the system apart. Jorren would dissipate on December 21.
Hurricane Kanra[]
| Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | December 31 – January 15 |
| Peak intensity | 170 mph (270 km/h) (1-min) 909 mbar (hPa; 26.85 inHg) |
On December 31, a well-marked area of disturbed weather was noted South of Dalpio. As it steadily intensified, the VHSC assigned it the name Kanra (pronounced Kahn-ruh) Located amid favourable conditions, Kanra began to intensify slightly faster. As conditions became increasingly favourable on January 6, consisting of warm sea surface temperatures, good equatorial outflow, low wind shear, and humid conditions. Kanra rapidly intensified into a major hurricane during midnight, and in the morning it intensified further into the record-breaking third category 5 strength storm before February 1. As Kanra meandered around the Lavian Strait, it's erratic motion prompted one of the largest mass evacuations recorded in the area across the Lavian Archipelago. On January 9, Kanra took a sharp eastward turn towards Sladerian Island. Kanra managed to retain its status as a category 5 hurricane for a near record four and a half consecutive days. The same, a high pressure area moved south of Kanra, resulting in a sharp northward turn towards Sladerian Island. Kanra began to weaken in the hours before landfall due to increasing wind shear. On January 11, Kanra made landfall on the eastern portion of the island as a category 4 hurricane. Immense destruction was reported throughout the area, along with a 4.6 meter (15.1 foot) storm surge devastating coastal areas. The still slow moving system tracked northward over the island. On January 13, Kanra emerged as a category 1 strength storm. When the system approached the jet stream, warm waters enabled it to reach a secondary peak intensity. As the jet stream carried Kanra into the open Verenican Ocean, weakening ensued, followed by dissipation the next day.
In the wake of the storm, Kanra inflicted $8 billion (2026 USD) in damages to Sladerian Island, and left 20 dead. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, relief was sent to Sladerian Island. The island was declared a disaster zone, and flooding from the storm surge hampered recovery efforts. Kolvia sent $85 million in aid, Paladine sent $10 million, Kimbous sent $50 million, and Marioni sent $30 million in relief efforts, totalling to $175 million (2026 USD) sent in aid by the nations. Shelters for those who were affected were opened all across the island.
Tropical Storm Lodis[]
| Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | January 11 – January 12 |
| Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa; 29.68 inHg) |
On January 11, an extratropical cyclone had been noted to have potential to undergo subtropical transition. A few hours later, the system was given the name Lodis (pronounced Lohd-ihs) and was classified as a subtropical storm. On January 12, as strong convection became apparent, Lodis was reclassified as a tropical storm. Shortly after, extremely cold waters quickly slaughtered the system.
The atmosphere didn't take this very lightly.
Hurricane Mydom[]
| Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Duration | January 13 – Present |
| Peak intensity | 225 mph (360 km/h) (1-min) 868 mbar (hPa; 25.63 inHg) |
On January 13, a tropical disturbance in the central Verenican Ocean was noted. Amongst favourable conditions, the storm began to steadily intensify. The same day, it was given the name Mydom (Pronounced Mai-doom). As Mydom tracked in a westward direction, a building ridge north of the storm caused Mydom to move south, putting the Lavian Archipelago on edge. Banding features and a pinhole eye were becoming apparent. Conditions became increasingly favourable, Mydom underwent explosive intensification, with its winds nearly quadrupling from 50 mph (80 km/h) to 190 mph (305 km/h), a record 140 mph (225 km/h) increase in just 24 hours. The VHSC issued a widespread hurricane warning and its first hurricane emergency in history. On January 14, Mydom entered the Lavian Strait, bringing heavy rains to Dalpio and primarily Sladerian Island, which was struck by Kanra just 3 days prior. At around 11:45 UTC, hurricane Mydom's eye contracted to a record minimum 2.2 miles (3.5 kilometers), allowing additional strengthening.
As the Lavian Archipelago braced for a direct hit from the storm in just a few days, sandbags were sent out across the region to help prevent flooding. Dam waters were released to minimize the risk of severe flooding, and hurricane shutters were put up in nearly 70% of homes. Hundreds of shelters opened across the region, and Paladine's national soccer field was transformed into a huge storm refuge. As Mydom continued its slow and inevitable approach to the islands, most of the beaches on Kimbous, Paladine, and Dalpio were closed to avoid any rip current related injuries. Over 10 million people evacuated from January 13 to 14, making it the largest mass evacuation in the nations history, surpassing that of Kanra, and the largest mass evacuation globally within 24 hours. As Mydom approached even closer to the Lavian Archipelago, the government made more desparate attempts at evacuating people. A mandatory evacuation was ordered for Yahoma, the capital of Paladine. Other countries, including Bronk, Caremia, and more, sent assistance to the islands in the archipelago. As Mydom's winds increased and the pressure dropped, areas affected by previous tropical cyclones, including Sladerian Island, which was hit by Kanra just 3 days ago at the time, sent aid and $50 million (2026 USD) to split between the islands. As the last flight deported at 11:30 UTC, all airports had closed. Many stores saw a significant increase in purchases as Mydom approached.
The VHSC released a bulletin in detail warning that it would bring "unprecedented" winds. Mydom continued to approach the island. As wind shear increased to 40 knots just 100 miles (160 kilometers) from the storm. However, the storm slowed as the previous ridge began to deteriorate. On January 15, a tropical depression formed behind the storm, however, would struggle to strengthen due to the storm's cold wake. Mydom continued to move westward towards the archipelago. Finally, after all of the preparations, warnings, aid, and waiting, it would be time. Mydom made landfall in eastern Paladine late on January 15.
Blasting the island with winds of 225 mph (360 km/h) and wind gusts exceeding 280 mph (450 km/h), everything at the point of landfall was flattened. A monstrous storm surge of 9.2 metres (30.2 feet) incinerated storm shelters all across the area. A ridge building from the Gulf of Caremia forced Mydom to move northwest towards Kimbous. The hurricane emergency was extended to the entirety of the archipelago. The storm continued to wreak havoc across all three islands. Extreme precipitation overflowed over 100 rivers, causing immense flooding. The archipelago began to fall apart, and Mydom continued to obliterate the islands. The capital of Paladine, Yahoma, was struck by a 6.5 meter (21.3 foot) tall storm surge. The extreme winds also caused the Yahoma Skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in the city, to tumble, crushing numerous businesses surrounding it. Levees in multiple cities were overwhelmed, causing a breach in the levees. On January 16, Mydom reemerged in the Lavian Strait. It's slow movement allowed it to regain it's bearings. The storm made its second landfall in southern Kimbous on January 18, causing further destruction. As Mydom tracked further inland, millions of trees snapped and debarked. A catastrophic storm surge of 6.4 metres (21 feet) was recorded. Numerous violent tornadoes were reported, including an EF5, the highest rating recieved from a tropical cyclone produced tornado. As Mydom tracked inland, numerous cities were inundated due to storm surges and overflowing dams. Mydom emerged over waters again on January 19. Another ridge over the Gulf of Caremia pushed Mydom through the Amanian Channel.
Hurricane Niwam[]
| Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS) | |
|---|---|
  | |
| Duration | January 15 – January 21 |
| Peak intensity | 90 mph (145 km/h) (1-min) 979 mbar (hPa; 28.91 inHg) |
On January 15, a tropical depression followed Mydom. Due to the cold wake from Mydom, the depression was unable to strengthen. As it moved further north in the Lavian Strait, it was able to strengthen due to low wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures. As it steadily intensified, it was designated the name Niwam (pronounced Nai-wahm) on January 16. Despite many forecasts calling for a fujiwhara effect between Niwam and Mydom, which would redirect Mydom to a higher shear enviornment and resulting in Niwam's demise, it didn't occur, which would ultimately result in two storms making landfall. As conditions became increasingly favourable, Niwam strengthened into a hurricane. Hurricane warnings were issued for the Celamic Peninsula.
Niwam made landfall on January 20. Terrain interaction quickly degraded the system. Niwam would reemerge over open waters the next day. However, dry air intruded the core, preventing any restrengthening. The storm's center of convection was last noted on January 21, before the VHSC ceased warnings on the system.
